Lurking in the Orchid Cactus
We spotted this jumping spider on an orchid cactus, Epiphyllum (Greek for "upon the leaf"). It was catching a little morning sun and poised for business.
We bought this cactus at the Luther Burbank Gold Ridge Experiment Farm in Sebastopol last year. The genus, Epiphyllum, is native to Central America, and we imagine that Burbank probably treasured it for its brilliant fragrant flowers, edible fruit and broad, flat stems. It attracts honey bees, syrphid flies, butterflies and other pollinators.
If you get a chance, you should not only visit the renowned Luther Burbank Home and Gardens in Santa Rosa, but his little experimental farm in Sebastopol.
Burbank, born March 7, 1849 on a farm outside of Lancaster, Mass., was one of a kind. "During his career he introduced over 800 varieties of fruits, flowers, vegetables, and grains," according to Western Sonoma Historical Society website. "He developed many of California's plums and prunes, the ancestor of the Idaho Potato, the Shasta Daisy, and novelties such as Plumcots, Thornless Blackberry, and Spineless Cactus. See Luther Burbank Biography."
His home in Santa Rosa was and is primarily a showplace, but his little farm in Sebastopol was his workshop. When he died in 1926, his widow donated some of the land to the City of Sebastopol. Restoration of the cottage began in 1983.
Today, it's a lovely little place, rather secluded without visitors but beckoning to all. You can take self-guided tours or book a guided tour with a docent.
As for the orchid cactus now growing in our yard, we think Luther Burbank would have been pleased.
And pleased with our little visitor, the jumping spider, too.

About Those Jumping Spiders!
Ophthalmologist and professor Ivan Schwab of the UC Davis Health System says that spiders "get a bad rap. Few would harm you, and only rarely are spiders aggressive towards humans. Most will defend themselves if threatened, of course, and a few are venomous. Most spiders, however, would prefer to ignore humans and be ignored by us."
At his UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology seminar on Oct. 23 in Briggs Hall, Dr. Schwab told the crowd that jumping spiders have the "best acuity of all spiders." They are ambush spiders, lying in wait for prey.
If you visit your garden or a neighborhood park, you may see a jumping spider looking back at you. Last Sunday we spotted a jumping spider lurking beneath the petals of a yellow rose. Meanwhile, a honey bee foraged above it.
That reminded us of what Dr. Schwab said about spiders and how they see.
Background: Dr. Schwab directs the Cornea and External Disease Service and serves as the medical advisor of the eye bank, as well as professor of ophthalmology in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science. He's the author of five books, including the highly acclaimed Evolution's Witness: How Eyes Evolved, published in November 2011. He describes the eye as "evolution's greatest gift and its greatest triumph."
The UC Davis ophthalmologist writes an informative blog, Evolution's Witness, and recently penned one, with amazing detail, on jumping spiders. "Jumping spiders are positively charming creatures, and you will know that to be true if you have ever watched one closely. These are common spiders and range from approximately 3 to 17 mm in length and will watch you closely as you approach them. They have four pairs of eyes, with the large anterior median (AM) set the most obvious. These circular eyes provide an 'attentive child' appearance because they are fixed and are relatively large based on body size, but are tiny on an absolute scale. These placid eyes belie the organized complexity and evolutionary genius that lies beneath the carapace."
Dr. Schwab goes on to describe the AM eyes as "Galilean telescopes with a corneal lens fixed to the carapace, and a second 'lens' at the end of a small tube immediately in front of the retina."
"This compact telephoto lens system combined with the tiered retina," he says, "achieves excellent acuity, but only a very tiny field of vision. So, to increase this field of acute vision, this optical marvel moves the tube housing the retina with six muscles per eye by mostly scanning movements. This is akin to a raster scan similar to those seen on a TV or computer screen. Jumping spiders scan their world much like painting a wall with a fine brush although the retina is not linear, but shaped more like a boomerang. The other pairs of eyes do not scan and are principally used as motion detectors to find other animals for the AM eyes to decipher."
"With the AM eyes, jumping spiders have the finest discrimination of all arthropods, and probably all invertebrates as they are visual hunters, whereas most other spiders use the tools of silk."
Dr. Schwab marvels at how a jumping spider is able to see so well and ambush its prey. "If the spider moves, it may frighten the prey, so the spider needs another mechanism." Read Dr. Schwab's column for the details on that mechanism. After you do, you'll come away with a greater appreciation of jumping spiders and that most amazing organ, the eye.
By the way, this visual hunter (below) didn't nab the honey bee Sunday afternoon....but it may have later.

There's a good reason why jumping spiders are named "jumping spiders."
They jump.
A jumping spider, according to National Geographic, can jump 50 times its body length.
We saw this jumping spider (family, Salticidae and probably genus Phidippus) in our flower bed last weekend.
Perched on a pink petunia, it waited for dinner, its four pairs of eyes surveying the floral menu; its rear legs poised to jump; its front legs ready to grasp unsuspecting prey. Meanwhile, its iridescent chelicerae glistened in the sunlight.
Wikipedia says that "the genus name is likely derived from Cicero's speech speech Pro Rege Deiotaro (Speech in Behalf of King Deiotarus): Phidippus was a slave who was physician to King Deiotaros. Literally, the word means 'one who spares horses' in Ancient Greek."
One thing's for sure: A hungry Phidippus would not "spare" a bee! Check out this National Geographic video on You Tube about a jumping spider and a honey bee.

A Bug-Eat-Bug World
It's a bug-eat-bug world out there.
Today we watched a syrphid fly, aka "hover fly" and "flower fly," circling a blanket flower (Gaillardia) and then touching down to sip a little nectar.
Syrphids are called "hover flies" for good reason. They "hover" over a blossom, helicoperlike. They're often mistaken for bees but to the trained eye, they really look nothing alike. Folks confuse them because both bees and syrphids are floral visitors and both are pollinators.
If it's a floral visitor, it must be a bee, right? Wrong.
Anyway, this syrphid touched down on the blossom to sip nectar, its wings glinting in the early morning sun. Finally, it spotted the danger, a jumping spider lurking on the other side. The crafty predator lunged. Missed!
When we returned a few minutes later, however, we saw the jumping spider beneath the petals, feasting on the syrphid.
Quickness is an attribute--whether you're a jumping spider or a syrphid.
If you want to learn more about flower flies, read entomologist Robert Bugg's "Flower Flies (Syrphidae) and Other Biological Control Agents for Aphids in Vegetable Crops" (Publication 8285, May 2008, University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.)

End result--the jumping spider feasting on the syrphid fly. (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)
The Predator
I know.
Jumping spiders have to eat, but do they have to snag the bees?
Last weekend as we were checking the lavender patch in our yard, we noticed something partially hidden--and moving--on a post.
It was a jumping spider eating a honey bee. Later in the afternoon, the same jumping spider snared a sweat bee.
If you have flower patches in your yard--and you should, to attract the pollinators--you will also attract the predators.
Fortunately, they don't eat as much as Joey "Jaws" Chestnut of San Jose, the hot-dog eating champion of the world.

Following are a number of common questions relating to identity theft and what you should do if you suspect you are a victim:
What is identity theft?
Identity theft is a crime where someone steals key pieces of your personal information - your name, driver's license number, Social Security Number, or an account number - for fraudulent use. Often, identity thieves can drain assets from your existing accounts, open new accounts in your name, apply for credit, and charge purchases to you.
How do thieves get my information?
Typically, identity thieves steal information from outdoor mailboxes, garbage cans or dumpsters. Many people have also been victims of identity theft through telemarketing scams and computer hacking. In some cases, thieves pay retail clerks and other people with access to your personal information to copy it and pass it along.
What is the impact of identity theft?
Once it occurs, identity theft can impact your ability to make big purchases, like buying a car or house, getting a passport or new driver's license, and collecting benefits that are due to you
How can I protect myself against identity theft?
The easiest way to protect yourself from identity theft is by protecting your personal information. We suggest that you always do the following:
Should I check my credit report regularly?
Checking your credit report regularly is one of the smartest ways to spot fraud, excessive inquiries and any negative reports. Contact the credit bureaus -- Experian, Equifax or TransUnion Credit -- for more information.
The government recently enacted legislation enabling consumers to receive a free credit file disclosure, commonly called a credit report, once every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
To receive your report, go to AnnualCreditReport.com. AnnualCreditReport.com is the official site to help consumers to obtain their free credit report.
What can I do if I am a victim of identity theft?
If you think you are a victim of identity theft, follow these two important steps:
How can I protect my credit if my identity has been stolen?
If you think your identity has been stolen, do the following:
What if I discover unauthorized accounts have been opened in my name?

Jim Arnold, weather specialist with Shrewsbury Emergency Management, doesn't think he's used the words "fasten your seatbelts" in a weather update more than four times in the past 25 years. On Wednesday, he did.
"I think we will see blizzard conditions developing by late Friday afternoon," said Arnold. "Snow will begin around or just before dawn and should be fairly light until mid morning when it will become heavier and the wind will begin to increase. Heavy blowing and drifting snow should be our lot during the afternoon possibly reaching blizzard and occasional whiteout conditions in the late afternoon, and continuing throughout the night and into early Saturday morning."
There is also the chance of seeing "thundersnow", from embedded thunderstorms in the heaviest bands of snow during Friday night, said. According to Arnold, the snow, by the end of the storm, could accumulate within the 18- to 24-inch range for much of inland southern New England. Some, he added, might get more.
"There will also be considerable blowing and drifting of the snow, which will be of the light, powdery variety," said Arnold. "The wind will increase from the east and northeast during Friday afternoon, reaching speeds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts approaching 50 mph. Drifts could reach six feet in height or more in exposed areas."
Temperatures will remain in the mid 20s for the duration of the storm.
"With heavy snow and quite strong winds there is the chance of scattered tree damage and isolated power outages," said Arnold. " The Friday evening commute will likely be a nightmare, and travel conditions will deteriorate further overnight Friday into Saturday morning."
That National Weather Service is also reporting 100 percent chance of snow for Friday, as well as a "winter storm watch," for all of eastern and Central Massachusetts.

Rogue's masculine, downtown-chic aesthetic perfectly captures the essence of NYC — the home base of company founder and designer Jimmy Reilly. Known for experimenting with fabric development, washes, and special finishes, this men's clothing brand debuted in 1999 as a line of leather and cloth outerwear. A decade later, Reilly turned Rogue into a full menswear collection that ranges from luxe (sweaters, rugged western shirts, Navy-style jackets, leather wingtip shoes) to laid-back (casual pants, t-shirts, nylon track jackets, slip-on sneakers). Frequently featured in men's mags, Rogue and its elegantly worn wares have become favorites among celebs such as Gerard Butler and Eric Church.

Suns Strokes: Suns overcome 26-point deficit to beat Cavs
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you Suns Strokes providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Suns' 107-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 9. Final Score: Suns 107, Cavaliers 105
The Good:
The Suns came back from a 26-point deficit to beat the Cavs at home Friday night 107-105. The win is the third largest comeback in team history and the largest at home.
The victory over Cleveland also gives the Suns consecutive wins for the first time this season and they improved to a .500 record of 3-3 for the first time this year.
The Bad:
The Suns scored just 16 points and committed eight turnovers in the first quarter to put them in the 26-point hole that required such an amazing comeback.
The Ugly:
The Suns only led for 2:22 of the entire 48 minutes but it was enough to get the win. They took their first lead of the game with 8:17 remaining in the fourth quarter at 87-85.
� The Suns got another big night from Shannon Brown off the bench. He recorded back-to-back 20-point games for the first time in his career and he's also scored 18 or more in three straight games for the first time in his career.
� Another solid performance came from Marcin Gortat on the defensive end. Gortat has three games of five or more blocks in the first six games for the Suns this season. The Suns have not had a player with three games of five or more blocks in an entire season since Amare Stoudemire in 2007-2008.
Up Next:
The Suns hit the road to play Utah on Saturday night for the second game of a back-to-back. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and you can listen to it on Arizona Sports 620.

Ubisoft confirms Altair's mission for the holidays.Jun 7th, 2007 - Public appearances and new information has been scarce, but Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed has still been one of the most popular cross-platform games on IGN. With that kind of following, the most common question our mailbags get about it is,"When is it coming out?"And now, we finally have an answer...November in major territories."Assassin's Creed is going to be a huge launch for Ubisoft this year along with the added prestige of being the start of this exciting new franchise that is bringing something completely new to the market,"commented Ubisoft's vice president of marketing, Tony Key."We're confident that Assassin's Creed will exceed expectations as a'must-have'title this holiday season and will achieve both critical and commercial success."
Altair won't make his move until month number eleven.Expected to ship for Windows PC, Sony's PlayStation 3, and Microsoft's Xbox 360 (console versions will boast standard and"special"editions), Assassin's Creed follows hired sword,"Altair,"who has been commissioned to take out warriors on both sides of the 10th century's Third Crusade in an effort to end the war.

Barry Eisler: The Detachment (John Rain Thrillers)
This is a satisfying installment in the John Rain series. Rain continues to grow in complexity as a character, but I fear that in an effort to make each book a bit more sensational than the last Eisler may have written himself into a corner (actually, there are probably books subsequent to this one, but I haven't checked). The Detachment gives us not Rain against a few sleazy bad buys, or even a formidable underworld empire. In this one he's busy thwarting a coup in the United States. What next? Space aliens?
Takashi Hiraide: The Guest Cat
This is the third Japanese novel I've read in a row in which cats play an important part. None of these books, though, are what might be called cat books, though the cat in Takashi Hiraide's The Guest Cat, Chibi, has a larger role than the felines in the other novels. Chibi, though he actually belongs to their neighbors, enters the lives of a couple, both free-lance writers, living in a leafy Tokyo neighborhood. As the couple become more involved with the cat, they also seem to become more engaged with life and with each other. In a simpler novel, that would be the story: an animal friend helps its people wake up to the beauty of life. Cats die, though, and cottages in leafy Tokyo neighborhoods with rents that free-lancers can afford are just as transitory. The narrative becomes complicated, and also the manner in which it is told: we learn that the novel we are reading is, in part, an account of its own creation, an act which may not, without Chibi, have taken place.
Mieko Kanai: Oh, Tama!
Cats. If you spend any time at all on the Internet, and you're not a cat person yourself, you've had enough of them, even when they're riding on Roombas. It would be a shame, though, if the same impulse--quite a healthy impulse--that makes you scroll past the cat pics on Facebook caused you to miss novels like Mieko Kanai's Oh, Tama!. Tama is a cat, but the novel is not about cats, and indeed Tama, gravid when when we first meet her, seldom emerges from the closet where she nurses the kittens she soon has after being dumped on our protagonist, a sporadically employed free-lance photographer called Noriyuki. She is in the novel for a reason, though. It is unlikely she could identify the father of her kittens, and Oh, Tama! has much to do with parents, or rather paternity, and children. We see, as the novel unfolds, how several characters who lack strong family ties form a family of sorts for themselves, a family with all the ambivalence of a biological family. If that sounds trite--isn't this the premise of several popular TV shows now?--it isn't. The odd bits of life that Kanai captures in the interactions of these characters draw us in even as they are never exactly important. This novel is one in a series of "Mejiro" (a Tokyo neighborhood) novels that Kanai has produced. Upon finishing this one I immediately ordered the only other entry that's been translated into English. One character who I'm sure will recur is the "lady novelist" who falls asleep at parties.
Dorothy L Sayers: Murder Must Advertise
I've never really warmed to the English jocular tradition, but I've just finished, with real enjoyment, a Lord Peter Wimsey novel by Dorothy Sayers. The mystery is . . . well, who really cares who done it . . . but the incidental observations, the jaundiced view of advertising (Wimsey is embedded at an advertising agency), and the fun with language made the novel a great deal of fun. Perhaps I'm growing up . . . or old. Maybe I'll finally get P.G. Wodehouse?
Miklós Bánffy: They Were Divided (The Transylvanian Trilogy) (The Writing on the Wall the Transylvanian Trilogy)
One can't expect a trilogy of novels that climaxes with the advent of World War I to end happily, and Bánffy's masterful trilogy does not. He sees the war as having been avoidable, and that it was not avoided as a disaster. The political thread that forms a significant part of the novels is bleak, and so are the stories of the characters' lives. The cousin whose self-destruction we have followed comes to a sad end, as does the romance Balint, the upright and well-meaning cousin, has pursued for years. The three novels together form a fascinating ride through pivotal years in Hungarian history, a history I now wish to know better.
Jake Arnott: The House of Rumour: A Novel
Scientologists, Nazis, alien-abduction enthusiasts, rock glitterati, science fiction writers who take themselves entirely too seriously: Southern California has them all, and they all strut their stuff in Jake Arnott's novel House of Rumour, along with real-life oddities like the Ayn Randian borderline-fascist sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein, scientologist-in-chief L. Ron Hubbard, and physicist and occultist Jack Parsons. Arnott successfully choreographs this ragbag of Southern Californian eccentricity (and worse) into an engaging novel that is a successful depiction of that charged locale in the immediate aftermath of World War II, a time when the space program was just taking off, and science fiction writers and readers saw their dreams coming true (thanks in part to the conveniently de-Nazified physicists now at work in the hills above Pasadena). Lay over this an occult grid—which may be just a creation of various countries' secret services, or maybe not—and one has a picture of the times at once accurate and intriguingly bent.
Miklós Bánffy: They Were Found Wanting (Writing on the Wall: The Transylvania Trilogy)
A lot of trilogies sag in the middle. This one doesn't. Indeed, rather than seeming like a discrete entity, it's very much a continuation of what has come before and is just as excellent. We continue to watch as one cousin loses himself to debauchery (and maybe loses his life--we're left uncertain), while the other tries to live up to what he sees as his responsibilities as an aristocrat and a land-owner while at the same time he continues to be involved in an affair with a married woman whose husband is fond of firearms and far from stable. As this volume proceeds it calls to mind more and more "The Grand Illusion." The aristocrats dance and play and the politicians concern themselves with trifles as Europe skates closer to the disaster of World War I.
Donald Fagen: Eminent Hipsters
Anyone who's ever paid attention to Steely Dan's lyrics knows that Donald Fagen can write. They will also know how he writes: cynically, sardonically, and with consummate style. That carries over to his prose in this book, the first half of which is a series of essays about the eminent hipsters--Henry Mancini, Ike Turner, Ray Charles, et al--of the title, artists who showed young Donald, when he was growing up in suburban New Jersey, "how to interpret [his] own world." (Note that the use of the word "eminent" with regard to these hipsters is a rare example of Fagen not being ironic.) The second half is a diary he kept while on a Dukes of September tour in which he makes it clear that going on tour when you're sixty-four is a very different thing than going on tour when you're twenty-four. One reviewer suggested that Fagen was channeling his crabby Uncle Morty as he bussed from venue to venue. If that's the case, Uncle Morty was very funny indeed.
Ross Macdonald: Find a Victim: A Lew Archer Novel
This entry in the Lew Archer saga seems slightly less well-constructed than the others, but still there are sentences, paragraphs, and pages that will bring a smile. Also, further hints are dropped about Archer's past: he was, we learn, married and divorced.
Miklos Banffy: They Were Counted (The Transylvanian Trilogy) (The Writing on the Wall: the Transylvanian Trilogy)
They Were Counted is the first book in a trilogy published in Hungary in the 1930s and '40s. Anyone reading this first entry will be happy that it is a trilogy, that having finished it one is not expelled from Edwardian-era Hungary, a world unfamiliar and fascinating. Miklós Bánffy has populated this world with human beings—Hungarian aristocrats for the most part—who are entirely convincing even as they live a social round that will be strange to all of us except for the glimpses we've seen of it in literature: we follow two cousins as they move from ball to hunt to duel to casino, from mountain castles to town houses in Budapest, and watch one destroy himself with debauchery, and the other try diligently to do the right thing as a large landowner and a politician. All of it is fascinating, elegantly and leisurely told.
George Saunders: Tenth of December
This is a rewarding collection of short stories about inequality, morality, human folly and meaning well. Saunders writes with compassion, and is excellent with voice so we find ourselves inhabiting his fascinating characters. The stories are suspenseful, funny, and well observed. If all this sounds on the bland side, know that the stories are sometimes deeply weird for mixing in science-fiction trappings. I love the Victorian classic "The Diary of A Nobody" so I was amazed to find a hilariously pitch-perfect update in "The Semplica Girl Diaries" (until it edges in an altogether darker direction). Unless you want a spoiler for that story, I'd advise skipping the book's introduction until you finish the volume. (*****)
David Nicholls: One Day
With a train to catch and without reading material, I grabbed this 2009 novel I'd never heard of off the bookshop paperback carousel. The story follows Emma and Dexter from an almost hook-up on the summer day in 1988 when they graduate from a British university, through the next 20 years. Each chapter captures their evolving and intersecting lives in snapshot fashion, on the same day at yearly intervals. It's a rich read which I enjoyed very much. The characters are carefully drawn with great compassion, and the conclusion brought tears to my eyes. (****)
Robert Macfarlane: The Old Ways
This is my book of the year. MacFarlane records his progress along ancient paths, recalling history and describing what he sees. His depictions of nature (for the ways he navigates are almost all rural) are original and arresting in a "yes, that's just what it's like" way: "the pylon's lyric crackle" "A tern beats upwind: scissory wings" "the sound of gull-cry and wave-suck." There's even a ghostly episode that would fit right into Levi Stahl's I'vebeenreadinglately October blog posts. (*****)
Tim Kreider: We Learn Nothing: Essays
Reading this book of essays by Tim Kreider, the astringent cartoonist, is like hanging out with a smart and funny friend, as he shares his hard-won insights into human fallibility. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him. As David Foster Wallace says on the back cover, "Kreider rules." (*****)
Dr. Kenjiro Setoue: Doctor Stories from the Island Journals of the Legendary Dr. Koto
"Lost in this life, I have somehow grown old." Dr Setoue signed up to work at a remote island clinic in Southern Japan for six months, and 36 years later is still there. His journals portray Japanese life and its webs of responsibilities, and the particular opportunities offered by island life. "I am not always busy, neither besieged by work nor play, and this allows for quiet time to look closely at myself [and to think about my work and life]." He relates how he brings state-of-the-art medical care to a place where people once died of illness and accident for lack of it, and in doing so finds "the happiness that comes… from feeling deeply that what I [do] is of help to someone." Much of his work is ministering to the old, for the island's population is ageing as it shrinks. Medical cases are described in such numbers that I couldn't help but gain a better sense of the illnesses and disabilities that are in store for me as I grow older. The book is physically beautiful with a lot of excellent photographs that, like the journals, bring the island and its people to life. My only criticism is some unnecessary repetition. Thanks to David from introducing this book in a Blockhead post (*****)

In 2012, Capital One saw an overhaul of its already impressive array of social media campaigns. Internally, the financial institution replaced its intranet with a new Facebook-esque offering called Pulse. The new platform allows for better collaboration among employees, and Capital One has incorporated the company's internal wiki pages into the new system, says Pat McLean, the company's VP of brand strategy. More than 500 employees attended Capital Ones first social media summit last year, a full day of presentations (including speakers from Google and Facebook) that focused on both personal and professional social media use.
Outside the company walls, Capital One has shown a knack for infusing social media into marketing and sponsorship campaigns. The company sponsors one of the top college football bowl games, the Capital One Bowl, and its promotional hashtag was trending on Twitter throughout the matchup. Then nearly 120,000 people voted via Twitter in a contest to name the 2012 college Mascot of the Year. During the holiday season, Capital One highlighted products from some of its partners during the company's first '12 Days of Pinterest' promotion, and in November, it partnered with LinkedIn to create Jet, a community aimed at providing news, tips, and resources to frequent business travelers.

bed came in three easy to carry boxes. Instructions clear. Easy to assemble. quick delivery. Daughter loves the bed.
I bought this bed for my boyfriend and I to have as our first bed together. It is more beautiful than in the picture and has held up well with all of the use it has been getting. It is very sturdy and easy to put together. The customer service is great! I ordered the full size and got the queen...I had no problems getting the replacement parts needed. This is a great product and I would suggest it to anyone!!!
My husband assembled this bed with ease, and commented on the quality of the manufacturing. The frame is made in the U.S., with some of the decorative from outside the U.S. It is a lovely bed, and fits beautifully in our home. I am so thrilled with it, and my guests are happy too!
The bed is very beautiful and I really like it. I purchased it for my daughter and she is crazy about it and very proud. I didnt want to bother with putting it together and paid my 19 yr. old nephew $25 to put it together, it only took him 50 minutes, I could have done that my self.
This bed arrived quickly, all the boxes came on the same day. It was easy to put together, the directions were pretty easy to understand and it was lighter than I thought so I was able to put it together without my husbands help. We've been using the bed for a couple of weeks and it seems very sturdy. The only thing I would say is that it is very easy to scratch the finish on the wooden posts. I put a scratch in mine right off the bat trying to line the bed frame up to attach the headboard. But it's not very noticeable, so just be careful.
For the price,,,definitely a very good purchase. It's real wood and the quality of the metal is good. Colors are exactly the same as look in the picture.
Looks as well as it did on line.. Not hard to assemble.. Love it
I was a little skepical about putting this bed together, but it's quite a sturdy bed and its very good looking! I love it for the value!
This is the third bed I have ordered from overstock. I received this bed within a few days of ordering and it was easy to put together. The quality was great and it looks exactly like it did on line. I will continue to order from overstocks.com.
It is pretty and easy to set up. But there is no center support, which makes the middle part of my mattress a bit sinking. The metal frame is not smooth- it is tough and uneven, and one of the 4 legs is scratched. It is still good for price, but I hope this is strong enough to stand long.

5 inches shorter? Sorry, no. The height between the centre of someone's eyes to the top of their head is on average 4.5 inches. The top of Elvis' head is way above Ali's eyes. The best way to judge that pic is to draw a line from Elvis' eyes across to Ali. If Ali's head was level, rather than looking up, Elvis' eyes would be just under his nose - so about 2 inches or a little more below Ali's eyes. Ali was most likely 6ft 2.5 - at least that was his listing when he was Cassius Clay. Pics don't tell the whole story either, particularly when we can't see feet. Plus Ali has his arm around Elvis' shoulder, which is a common trick people use in pics to get a height advantage. Not suggesting Ali was doing that, but it still has that effect.Originally Posted by Elvislennon2004
Elvis was no way 5'10. That's absurd. His army records actually claim two heights - one barefoot and one with his boots. Recruits were measured twice. The barefoot height is 6'0.5 and the height with boots is 6'1.75. Elvis was therefore just a tiny bit over 6 foot.
In that pic with Sonny West, Elvis is either the same height or a tiny bit taller. West was 6'2, so Elvis is likely wearing boots with a large heel, which he was fond of wearing in the 70s.

AT&T's 4G network is smaller than Verizon's, but its 4G service is the smoothest, according to Consumer Reports.
AT&T, ranked dead last in the customer satisfaction survey for the third straight year, topped all wireless carriers in the magazine's 4G network ratings.
Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500) has by far the largest 4G-LTE network, serving more than 400 markets, compared to just over 100 for AT&T (T, Fortune 500) and more than 40 for Sprint (S, Fortune 500). But AT&T customers reported the fewest 4G-related problems of any carrier, including service interruptions, slow speeds or lack of service.
Still, Verizon once again topped the charts in the overall rankings of national carriers -- and it's pulling away from the rest of the pack. Verizon outscored Sprint by 6 points in Consumer Reports' customer satisfaction ratings, a gap that widened since last year. T-Mobile came in third, trailed slightly by AT&T, which got worst-in-class rankings for value, voice quality and customer support.
A year ago, Sprint trailed Verizon by just a point in the rankings, but the carrier's satisfaction rating fell by a dramatic six points over the course of the year.
What happened? In its survey, Consumer Reports noted that 4G customers are generally more satisfied than those with 3G service. Sprint's significantly smaller 4G could play a role in its customers' lower ratings.
Though 4G customers are generally happier, faster data connections can lead to higher cell phone bills, Consumer Reports pointed out. Verizon and AT&T both recently introduced shared data plans that encourage higher data usage. The nation's two largest carriers have reported that they are making more money on the new plans as customers ramp up their gigabytes.
For many customers, there are other options. Smaller, regional carriers like Consumer Cellular, U.S. Cellular (USM), and Credo all ranked ahead of their larger national rivals in Consumer Reports' survey.
Prepaid carriers Tracfone and Straight Talk also performed better than the national players, winning high marks for both quality and value. Two-thirds of Consumer Reports' survey respondents who switched to prepaid plans said they saved at least $20 a month.

Key Issue:
- Electricity Prices - Electricity prices have increased by more than a 150% since 2011. This is inspite of the fact that the distribution losses have come down from 50% to 20%. The government is hesitatnt to call for an audit of the discoms and is supporting them by ordering price rise after price rise.
- Women's Safety - Women's safety remains a big concern for women of Delhi. In spite of multiple promises for stronger laws, better enforecemnt etc, nothing has been done to make women feel secure. The Delhi Goverment hides behind the excuse of "We dont control the Delhi police". Its time to end the blame game and take decisive action.
- Price Rise - Price rise has hit you & me, really hard. Be it petrol (over 40% of petrol prices are handed over as taxes), gas cylinders, vegetables, fruits, groceries..anything, prices just seem to go higher. In efficient distribution systems, bad planning& governance and corruption at all levels continue to drive prices higher and make the common man's life increasingly difficult.

this pen set is simply superb! it has 2 pens in which one is a pen which is about 300 to 400 and another one which is 400 to 500. one is a roller ball and one is a ball point pen. it also has one extra roller ball refill !
It is just awesome
and is very cheap
The pens do not cost 300 to 400 each as somebody said. This pen comes with a 'standard' finish unlike the 'Matte Black'and 'Stainless Steel' versions making it lighter and cheaper. I'd recomend buying Superior versions of parker vector pen set which comes at an MRP of 550(RB+BP) and 650 (FP+RB).
I was surprised twice by this product. First time when I saw this on flipkart,I thought two parker pens and an extra refill for rupees 280 would be great... So i placed my order immediately... And i was surprised(shocked) again when i got this product because I never expected such Poor quality pen from parker...The ball pen's body will make you uncomfortable...There is no extra refill in the set as shown(may be it was my misunderstanding, but I'm sure atleast a few may think like me).The refill shown out side is of the roller ball pen which does not suit in it properly(i think thats why they do not put it in the pen by themselves)!!!! and no other refill would suit in that pen...so the roller ball pen is entirely useless and I now use that refill without pen for underlining main points in my text book...
Well..Parker is known by its name itself..It has the brand value...and the product lives upto it.
Parker Vector Standard CT Pen Set is a stylish and a great product and a worth buy.
What i want to comment about is the refill of the Pen...I will call it as a "Writing, with pleasure"
A nice service from flipkart
I have got it from someone and use it.Here is my opinion.
They use Steel which is best thing but weight make it's less user-friendly. You can't write with a long time. Rs6 Reynold are great for solve this problem.
This pen have no better ink.They can be dry easily. More easily then Cello and Reynolds. Using Cello ink is better option.
Body of pen are looking good but I can't use it more because of having much more weight.
Some of good alternative are from Cello and Reynolds which is very low cost as parker.
If you like this pen You need to buy Ink from Someone else's brand because this pen's Ink are easily goes dry.
It was a good deal to get two parker pens at price of almost one. Extremely good item to gift someone.Read More

Good variety of cutting grades. Saves time. Well suited for performing fall off fretwork.
Before i bought the snap file system I used an old nicholson which was fine for a while even when it was new it never cut as good and wasn't nearly as comfortable. worth every penny.. i can do more leveling in a day with less fatigue.
this is a great file system....works without fail and has a great weight to it.. makes the job a little faster with great results
I use this tool about every day and just love it. The handle had a nice weight and solidness to it and is surprisingly comfortable for being a chunk of metal. I use the straight cut and diamond file most, the others occasionally, but they are all nice to have.
If you use all of these file in regular rotation, maybe it could be worth the cost. As for saving space in the drawer, I still have to have somewhere to put the (3) files that I don't regularly use. I paid so much for them that I fell like I need to really take care of them. Now the very fine, straight cut (#2255) I love. But for $30 I could have glued it to a hand shaped piece of wood. When used with the magnetic handle it rattles a bit. It is just is not for me.
This is a gem of a tool. Highly recommended.
If you do a lot of guitar repair then you most likely have many tools in your shop. This needs to be one of them! Immediately when this snap file arrived I knew it was going to be good. The feel, the design, the precision. I almost like doing fret work now. Almost.
I bought this tool along with the radiused sanding blocks, thinking that i would use the blocks to keep me honest and accurate. I found that i could do the first pass with these and then just use the radius block for the final fine grit. Great tool and superb selection of files.

I'm not inclined to start a lengthy discussion about Darwin, evolution, the Bible and the like. Leave that for another day.
Nevertheless, a story in today's New York Times is getting all sorts of online attention after news last week that an advocacy group in New York had filed writs of habeas corpus on behalf of four captive chimpanzees. (The suits were dismissed.)
Read the story and see what you think. Even if you wholeheartedly disagree with it, it's nevertheless an interesting, if not controversial, subject.

September 12: First 86 students (men and women) attended Buncombe County Junior College
College was part of the Buncombe County School System and was located in the new Biltmore High School (just south of I-40 in Biltmore)
Tuition was free
Great Depression caused tuition to be charged. College would accept vegetables, eggs, milk, and general produce to pay tuition.
First graduating class (Roy Taylor, valedictorian)
Merges with closed Asheville City College and changes name to Biltmore College
Because of the growing Depression, the Buncombe County School System withdraws financial support for the college and the campus moves to city-operated David Millard Junior High School (present site of Beverly Hanks Realtors on College Street, downtown). City School System provides financial support for the college
Faculty turns over authority for college's management to a Board of Trustees
College chartered as Asheville-Biltmore College to recognize new financial/administrative connection with the Asheville City School Board (still known as Biltmore College is popular parlance)
College is first accredited by the US Department of Education
Because of population pressures in the City School System, the college is forced to move to the Asheville Normal and Teacher's School (present site of Memorial Hospital Campus on Biltmore Avenue, south of downtown)
In pursuit of its "own" campus, the college moves to the former County Home for Children (present site of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church on Merrimon Ave, north of downtown)
First parking lot built (80 cars)
Alumni Association founded under direction of first valedictorian, Roy Taylor '29
Representative Roy Taylor '29, introduces first state legislation to charter a state-supported college in Buncombe County
Increased enrollment forces college to move to Seely's Castle on Sunset Mountain (just north of the expressway cut). The castle had been a private residence for John and Evelyn Seely, E.W. Grove's son-in-law and daughter.
New names were contemplated for the college including Castle College and Overlook College.
As a result of the move to the mountain the Asheville-Biltmore comes to be called the "College in the Sky."
Becomes first two-year college in North Carolina to receive state funds. Is the originator of North Carolina's community college system.
Enrollment increase leads to exploration of new campus location. Sites considered included the eighth floor of City Hall, the municipal golf course, and the Beaver Lake area. Decision was made to stay at Seely's Castle. Asheville citizens voted solidly in favor of a bond referendum to expand the campus on the mountain.
Under the presidency of Glen Bushy, the Board of Trustees reconsiders relocation and purchases 161 acres from attorney Landon Roberts and others in Woolsey Dip on the site of the Civil War Battle of Asheville.
Groundbreaking for what would later be called Phillips Hall on the new campus.
First classes held at new campus in the Fall.
First African-American student enrolled
Humanities Program founded
Asheville-Biltmore College becomes a senior institution authorized to offer baccalaureate degrees.
Because of the move to a baccalaureate institution, there are no graduates

Only one graduate (Trudy Wong). She is believed to be the only graduate of the short-lived 3-year baccalaureate degree program
The 66 in '66 were the first four year graduates from Asheville-Biltmore College
First African-American graduate (Francine Delaney)
First residence halls open (later known as the Governor's Village)
College joins the University of North Carolina System (along with UNCW and UNCC) and is chartered as The University of North Carolina at Asheville. (The other 10 joined in 1972)

I'm trying to find out if its at all possible to run a .kext on an unjailbroken iPhone.
When the kernel is loaded, is the signature for the entire kernel image verified? Or just the signatures of any plugins there might be i.e. the .kext?
If the entire kernel image signature is checked then I presume there's no chance of a .kext running unless it was inside the kernel when signed, thus no possibility at all of running a .kext.
If however its not the entire kernel that is checked, but .kexts' signatures are checked individually when loaded, then there is a slim chance perhaps that I am able to sign the .kext with a specific certificate tied to the device's IMEI or similar, and thus would be able to load the .kext on one phone only (which would suit my purposes).
